  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

As soon as the sperm and the egg meet cells beging to divide and a being with a completely different system is being formed. Implantation doesn't happen until about a week to 10 days later. I believe that any form of birth control that keeps a conceived child from implanting is abortion and is wrong. All barrier forms that I know of only keep the egg and sperm from meeting. The comment "If it's God's will you will get pregnant anyway" takes away all human responsibility. Well if it's God's will I'll lose weight today. If it's God's will I'll treat my husband right today and if I don't I guess that was just God's will. What God has ordained will happen, but that does not take away our will that can go against God's will. Our going against God's will will never stop Him from completing His will but we can rebel against God and our relationship with Him as a Christian can be strained because of our decisions to do our own thing. If you are truly reformed then the logical answer to this question is that you wouldn't use birth control because God's will will be done no matter what. I on the other hand think that God opens and closes the womb when he pleases but that because of our lack of faith (including my husband and I) we use barrier methods to prevent pregnancy. I really don't know where I'm going with this and I'm totally in the wrong forum for my beliefs but I was sent here by a reformed guy that wanted me to see what he believed and I ran across this. Sorry if it didn't make any sense : )

Its ok. You do have a bit arminian belief in this and yes you are in the wrong forum. But I guess that would be my fault wouldnt it.
